Bucktown's Winter Farmers Market Finds New Home at Royal Palms Shuffleboard Club for 2025-2026 Season

By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Bucktown · December 12, 2025

The beloved Wicker Park Bucktown Winter Farmers Market is making a significant move this season, relocating from its previous venue at The Robey Hall to the Royal Palms Shuffleboard Club at 1750 N. Milwaukee Avenue. The Wicker Park Bucktown Chamber of Commerce announced this exciting change as part of their 2025-2026 indoor market season plans.

The market will kick off on Sunday, December 7, operating from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., following what organizers describe as a "bustling summer market season." This year's expanded lineup features more local vendors than ever before, offering everything from fresh produce, meat, and eggs to pressed juices, coffee, handmade jewelry, and candles. "The move to Royal Palms marks an exciting new chapter for the Wicker Park Farmers Market," said Pamela Maass, Executive Director of the Wicker Park Bucktown Chamber of Commerce. "With an expanded space, more local vendors than ever before, and new programming designed to engage families in our community, this venue gives us the opportunity to grow the market's impact while keeping its welcoming, neighborhood feel."

The new location brings additional family-friendly elements to the market experience. During market hours, Royal Palms will open its doors for all-ages "Family Sundays" inside the venue's normally 21+ tropical setting. Children ages 8 and up can receive shuffleboard lessons before taking to the courts, while adults can relax in cabanas with tropical drinks or mocktails. The space will also feature oversized board games like giant Jenga and Connect Four, creating a vacation-like atmosphere for friends and families to enjoy while supporting local vendors.
